<h4 class="subsection">12.6.4 Logical Operators</h4>
<a name="index-Logical-Operators"></a>

<p>Except when they appear in the condition operand of a
<code>GIMPLE_COND</code>, logical &lsquo;and&rsquo; and &lsquo;or&rsquo; operators are simplified
as follows: <code>a = b &amp;&amp; c</code> becomes
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">T1 = (bool)b;
if (T1 == true)
  T1 = (bool)c;
a = T1;
</pre></div>

<p>Note that <code>T1</code> in this example cannot be an expression temporary,
because it has two different assignments.
</p>
<a name="Manipulating-operands"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">12.6.5 Manipulating operands</h4>

<p>All gimple operands are of type <code>tree</code>.  But only certain
types of trees are allowed to be used as operand tuples.  Basic
validation is controlled by the function
<code>get_gimple_rhs_class</code>, which given a tree code, returns an
<code>enum</code> with the following values of type <code>enum
gimple_rhs_class</code>
</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>GIMPLE_INVALID_RHS</code>
The tree cannot be used as a GIMPLE operand.

</li><li> <code>GIMPLE_TERNARY_RHS</code>
The tree is a valid GIMPLE ternary operation.

</li><li> <code>GIMPLE_BINARY_RHS</code>
The tree is a valid GIMPLE binary operation.

</li><li> <code>GIMPLE_UNARY_RHS</code>
The tree is a valid GIMPLE unary operation.

</li><li> <code>GIMPLE_SINGLE_RHS</code>
The tree is a single object, that cannot be split into simpler
operands (for instance, <code>SSA_NAME</code>, <code>VAR_DECL</code>, <code>COMPONENT_REF</code>, etc).

<p>This operand class also acts as an escape hatch for tree nodes
that may be flattened out into the operand vector, but would need
more than two slots on the RHS.  For instance, a <code>COND_EXPR</code>
expression of the form <code>(a op b) ? x : y</code> could be flattened
out on the operand vector using 4 slots, but it would also
require additional processing to distinguish <code>c = a op b</code>
from <code>c = a op b ? x : y</code>.  In time, these special case tree
expressions should be flattened into the operand vector.
</p></li></ul>

<p>For tree nodes in the categories <code>GIMPLE_TERNARY_RHS</code>,
<code>GIMPLE_BINARY_RHS</code> and <code>GIMPLE_UNARY_RHS</code>, they cannot be
stored inside tuples directly.  They first need to be flattened and
separated into individual components.  For instance, given the GENERIC
expression
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">a = b + c
</pre></div>

<p>its tree representation is:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">MODIFY_EXPR &lt;VAR_DECL  &lt;a&gt;, PLUS_EXPR &lt;VAR_DECL &lt;b&gt;, VAR_DECL &lt;c&gt;&gt;&gt;
</pre></div>

<p>In this case, the GIMPLE form for this statement is logically
identical to its GENERIC form but in GIMPLE, the <code>PLUS_EXPR</code>
on the RHS of the assignment is not represented as a tree,
instead the two operands are taken out of the <code>PLUS_EXPR</code> sub-tree
and flattened into the GIMPLE tuple as follows:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">GIMPLE_ASSIGN &lt;PLUS_EXPR, VAR_DECL &lt;a&gt;, VAR_DECL &lt;b&gt;, VAR_DECL &lt;c&gt;&gt;
</pre></div>

<a name="Operand-vector-allocation"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">12.6.6 Operand vector allocation</h4>

<p>The operand vector is stored at the bottom of the three tuple
structures that accept operands. This means, that depending on
the code of a given statement, its operand vector will be at
different offsets from the base of the structure.  To access
tuple operands use the following accessors
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gimple_005fnum_005fops"></a>GIMPLE function: <em>unsigned</em> <strong>gimple_num_ops</strong> <em>(gimple g)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns the number of operands in statement G.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gimple_005fop"></a>GIMPLE function: <em>tree</em> <strong>gimple_op</strong> <em>(gimple g, unsigned i)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns operand <code>I</code> from statement <code>G</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gimple_005fops"></a>GIMPLE function: <em>tree *</em> <strong>gimple_ops</strong> <em>(gimple g)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns a pointer into the operand vector for statement <code>G</code>.  This
is computed using an internal table called <code>gimple_ops_offset_</code>[].
This table is indexed by the gimple code of <code>G</code>.
</p>
<p>When the compiler is built, this table is filled-in using the
sizes of the structures used by each statement code defined in
gimple.def.  Since the operand vector is at the bottom of the
structure, for a gimple code <code>C</code> the offset is computed as sizeof
(struct-of <code>C</code>) - sizeof (tree).
</p>
<p>This mechanism adds one memory indirection to every access when
using <code>gimple_op</code>(), if this becomes a bottleneck, a pass can
choose to memoize the result from <code>gimple_ops</code>() and use that to
access the operands.
</p></dd></dl>

<a name="Operand-validation"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">12.6.7 Operand validation</h4>

<p>When adding a new operand to a gimple statement, the operand will
be validated according to what each tuple accepts in its operand
vector.  These predicates are called by the
<code>gimple_<var>name</var>_set_...()</code>.  Each tuple will use one of the
following predicates (Note, this list is not exhaustive):
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-is_005fgimple_005fval"></a>GIMPLE function: <em>bool</em> <strong>is_gimple_val</strong> <em>(tree t)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns true if t is a &quot;GIMPLE value&quot;, which are all the
non-addressable stack variables (variables for which
<code>is_gimple_reg</code> returns true) and constants (expressions for which
<code>is_gimple_min_invariant</code> returns true).
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-is_005fgimple_005faddressable"></a>GIMPLE function: <em>bool</em> <strong>is_gimple_addressable</strong> <em>(tree t)</em></dt>

from constants, in that the specific value of t may not be known
at compile time, but it is known that it doesn&rsquo;t change (e.g.,
the address of a function local variable).

<dd><p>Return true if t is an interprocedural invariant.  This means that t
is a valid invariant in all functions (e.g. it can be an address of a
global variable but not of a local one).
